The Bugatti Veyron is the worlds most expensive car its price is $1,700,000.The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the great and fastest street-legal manufacture car in the world, with a proven top speed of over 400 km/h. It reached full production in September 2005. The car is built by Volkswagen AG subsidiary Bugatti Automobiles SAS and is sold under the legendary Bugatti marque. It is named after racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti firm. The Veyron features a W16 engine—16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders.
According to Volkswagen, the ultimate production Veyron engine produces between 1020 and 1040 metric hp, so the car will be advertised as producing "1001 horsepower" in both the US and European markets. This easily makes it the most powerful production road-car engine in history.
One thousand and one horsepower, sixteen cylinders, seven speeds and over 400km/h – transmission engineering challenges don’t come much tougher than Bugatti’s fabulous million-euro Veyron supercar.Tony Lewin reports on the support provided by Ricardo in the development and manufacture of one of the most sophisticated driveline systems ever conceived
When exposed to the full 1,250 Newton-metres torque of the 16-cylinder engine, the conflict of the air and even the force of gravity itself seem to have no chance: the EB 16·4 Veyron eats up the road as if these physical laws had just been abolished
